Review
The animals who live in an apartment building at 24 Sprout Street are excited when a new neighbor. That she is from Hawaii makes it even more exciting. Mililani settles in slowly, getting to know her new neighbors, all of whom have their own dilemmas and personalities that shine through as friendships are made. It is a nice story of friendship, and a good transitional chapter book, given its small size and ample illustrations. A quiet and charming story.
Overall Book Score: good
